Pros

Market-rate compensation and good work life balance, that's about it. Stick it out for 1-2 years and get to a company that invests in American employees.

Cons

Endless red tape. The entire operations team is in India and the entire Phoenix office is from India. Insane micromanagement. More time spent on paperwork and sucking up than actually selling and making money. Middle management is typically horrible and upper management is inaccessible. Passive-aggressive gossipy culture.

Pros

They have fantastic pay for the position you're in, and they teach you interesting and engaging utility of modern technology mixed with legacy fundamentals. I've learned quite a bit while AmEx while getting paid more than fairly - I'd recommend a stretch here to whomever may be reading this!

Cons

The Company is huge, and at times it may take more than a little time to get recognized for your abilities and the growth you've had. There's a reason there is a "only way up is out" reputation exists for some enterprise companies...
